MANILA, Philippines - In response to Yolanda’s devastation, Filipino poets in the homeland and the diaspora rallied to create a fundraising anthology entitled VERSES TYPHOON YOLANDA: A Storm of Filipino Poets. Edited by poet and editor Eileen R. Tabios, the anthology of 133 poems is released by Meritage Press (San Francisco & St. Helena). All of the book’s profits will be donated to relief organizations and others helping the survivors of Yolanda. While the anthology was created for fundraising, the result also showcases the wealth of talent in Filipino poetry.
